Isaiah (ישעיה) - Isaia 107

STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 הֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו	1 "Give thanks to the LORD who is good, whose love endures forever!"
2 יֹאמְרוּ גְּאוּלֵי יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר גְּאָלָם מִיַּד־צָר	2 Let that be the prayer of the LORD'S redeemed, those redeemed from the hand of the foe,
3 וּמֵאֲרָצֹות קִבְּצָם מִמִּזְרָח וּמִמַּעֲרָב מִצָּפֹון וּמִיָּם	3 Those gathered from foreign lands, from east and west, from north and south.
4 תָּעוּ בַמִּדְבָּר בִּישִׁימֹון דָּרֶךְ עִיר מֹושָׁב לֹא מָצָאוּ	4 Some had lost their way in a barren desert; found no path toward a city to live in.
5 רְעֵבִים גַּם־צְמֵאִים נַפְשָׁם בָּהֶם תִּתְעַטָּף	5 They were hungry and thirsty; their life was ebbing away.
6 וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצוּקֹותֵיהֶם יַצִּילֵם	6 In their distress they cried to the LORD, who rescued them in their peril,
7 וַיַּדְרִיכֵם בְּדֶרֶךְ יְשָׁרָה לָלֶכֶת אֶל־עִיר מֹושָׁב	7 Guided them by a direct path so they reached a city to live in.
8 יֹודוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדֹּו וְנִפְלְאֹותָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָם	8 Let them thank the LORD for such kindness, such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.
9 כִּי־הִשְׂבִּיעַ נֶפֶשׁ שֹׁקֵקָה וְנֶפֶשׁ רְעֵבָה מִלֵּא־טֹוב	9 For he satisfied the thirsty, filled the hungry with good things.
10 יֹשְׁבֵי חֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת אֲסִירֵי עֳנִי וּבַרְזֶל	10 Some lived in darkness and gloom, in prison, bound with chains,
11 כִּי־הִמְרוּ אִמְרֵי־אֵל וַעֲצַת עֶלְיֹון נָאָצוּ	11 Because they rebelled against God's word, scorned the counsel of the Most High,
12 וַיַּכְנַע בֶּעָמָל לִבָּם כָּשְׁלוּ וְאֵין עֹזֵר	12 Who humbled their hearts through hardship; they stumbled with no one to help.
13 וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקֹותֵיהֶם יֹושִׁיעֵם	13 In their distress they cried to the LORD, who saved them in their peril,
14 יֹוצִיאֵם מֵחֹשֶׁךְ וְצַלְמָוֶת וּמֹוסְרֹותֵיהֶם יְנַתֵּק	14 Led them forth from darkness and gloom and broke their chains asunder.
15 יֹודוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדֹּו וְנִפְלְאֹותָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָם	15 Let them thank the LORD for such kindness, such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.
16 כִּישִׁ־בַּר דַּלְתֹות נְחֹשֶׁת וּבְרִיחֵי בַרְזֶל גִּדֵּעַ	16 For he broke down the gates of bronze and snapped the bars of iron.
17 אֱוִלִים מִדֶּרֶךְ פִּשְׁעָם וּמֵעֲוֹנֹתֵיהֶם יִתְעַנּוּ	17 Some fell sick from their wicked ways, afflicted because of their sins.
18 כָּל־אֹכֶל תְּתַעֵב נַפְשָׁם וַיַּגִּיעוּ עַד־שַׁעֲרֵי מָוֶת	18 They loathed all manner of food; they were at the gates of death.
19 וַיִּזְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם מִמְּצֻקֹותֵיהֶם יֹושִׁיעֵם	19 In their distress they cried to the LORD, who saved them in their peril,
20 יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרֹו וְיִרְפָּאֵם וִימַלֵּט מִשְּׁחִיתֹותָם׃ 	20 Sent forth the word to heal them, snatched them from the grave.
21 יֹודוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדֹּו וְנִפְלְאֹותָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָם׃ 	21 Let them thank the LORD for such kindness, such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.
22 וְיִזְבְּחוּ זִבְחֵי תֹודָה וִיסַפְּרוּ מַעֲשָׂיו בְּרִנָּה׃ 	22 Let them offer a sacrifice in thanks, declare his works with shouts of joy.
23 יֹורְדֵי הַיָּם בָּאֳנִיֹּות עֹשֵׂי מְלָאכָה בְּמַיִם רַבִּים׃ 	23 Some went off to sea in ships, plied their trade on the deep waters.
24 הֵמָּה רָאוּ מַעֲשֵׂי יְהוָה וְנִפְלְאֹותָיו בִּמְצוּלָה׃ 	24 They saw the works of the LORD, the wonders of God in the deep.
25 וַיֹּאמֶר וַיַּעֲמֵד רוּחַ סְעָרָה וַתְּרֹומֵם גַּלָּיו׃ 	25 He spoke and roused a storm wind; it tossed the waves on high.
26 יַעֲלוּ מַיִם יֵרְדוּ תְהֹומֹות נַפְשָׁם בְּרָעָה תִתְמֹוגָג	26 They rose up to the heavens, sank to the depths; their hearts trembled at the danger.
27 יָחֹוגּוּ וְיָנוּעוּ כַּשִּׁכֹּור וְכָל־חָכְמָתָם תִּתְבַּלָּע	27 They reeled, staggered like drunkards; their skill was of no avail.
28 וַיִּצְעֲקוּ אֶל־יְהוָה בַּצַּר לָהֶם וּמִמְּצוּקֹתֵיהֶם יֹוצִיאֵם	28 In their distress they cried to the LORD, who brought them out of their peril,
29 יָקֵם סְעָרָה לִדְמָמָה וַיֶּחֱשׁוּ גַּלֵּיהֶם	29 Hushed the storm to a murmur; the waves of the sea were stilled.
30 וַיִּשְׂמְחוּ כִי־יִשְׁתֹּקוּ וַיַּנְחֵם אֶל־מְחֹוז חֶפְצָם	30 They rejoiced that the sea grew calm, that God brought them to the harbor they longed for.
31 יֹודוּ לַיהוָה חַסְדֹּו וְנִפְלְאֹותָיו לִבְנֵי אָדָם	31 Let them thank the LORD for such kindness, such wondrous deeds for mere mortals.
32 וִירֹמְמוּהוּ בִּקְהַל־עָם וּבְמֹושַׁב זְקֵנִים יְהַלְלוּהוּ	32 Let them praise him in the assembly of the people, give thanks in the council of the elders.
33 יָשֵׂם נְהָרֹות לְמִדְבָּר וּמֹצָאֵי מַיִם לְצִמָּאֹון	33 God changed rivers into desert, springs of water into thirsty ground,
34 אֶרֶץ פְּרִי לִמְלֵחָה מֵרָעַת יֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ	34 Fruitful land into a salty waste, because of the wickedness of its people.
35 יָשֵׂם מִדְבָּר לַאֲגַם־מַיִם וְאֶרֶץ צִיָּה לְמֹצָאֵי מָיִם	35 He changed the desert into pools of water, arid land into springs of water,
36 וַיֹּושֶׁב שָׁם רְעֵבִים וַיְכֹונְנוּ עִיר מֹושָׁב	36 And settled the hungry there; they built a city to live in.
37 וַיִּזְרְעוּ דֹות וַיִּטְּעוּ כְרָמִים וַיַּעֲשׂוּ פְּרִי תְבוּאָה	37 They sowed fields and planted vineyards, brought in an abundant harvest.
38 וַיְבָרֲכֵם וַיִּרְבּוּ מְאֹד וּבְהֶמְתָּם לֹא יַמְעִיט	38 God blessed them, they became very many, and their livestock did not decrease.
39 וַיִּמְעֲטוּ וַיָּשֹׁחוּ מֵעֹצֶר רָעָה וְיָגֹון׃ 	39 Where they were diminished and brought low through misery and cruel oppression,
40 שֹׁפֵךְ בּוּז עַל־נְדִיבִים וַיַּתְעֵם בְּתֹהוּ לֹא־דָרֶךְ	40 But he poured out contempt on princes, made them wander the trackless wastes,
41 וַיְשַׂגֵּב אֶבְיֹון מֵעֹונִי וַיָּשֶׂם כַּצֹּאן מִשְׁפָּחֹות	41 While the poor were released from their affliction; their families increased like their flocks.
42 יִרְאוּ יְשָׁרִים וְיִשְׂמָחוּ וְכָל־עַוְלָה קָפְצָה פִּיהָ	42 The upright saw this and rejoiced; all wickedness shut its mouth.
43 מִי־חָכָם וְיִשְׁמָר־אֵלֶּה וְיִתְבֹּונְנוּ חַסְדֵי יְהוָה	43 Whoever is wise will take note of these things, will ponder the merciful deeds of the LORD.
